2020 INFINITI QX50 Owners Manual

∙The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog. The blocked condition
may also be caused by objects such as ice,
frost or dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors.
∙ Do not attach stickers (including trans-parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the camera
unit or radar sensors.
∙ Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on the instrument
panel. The reflection of sunlight may ad-
versely affect the camera unit’s capability
of detecting the lane markers.
∙ Do not strike or damage the area around the radar sensors. Do not touch the cam-
era lens or remove the screw located on
the camera unit. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer if the camera
unit and/or area around the radar sen-
sors is damaged due to a collision.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.
∙ The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the di-
rection your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when back-
ing out from a parking space. When the ve-
hicle is in reverse, the system is designed to
detect other vehicles approaching from the
right or left of the vehicle. If the system de-
tects cross traffic, it will alert you.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
(RCTA)
Starting and driving5-67

RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of
an approaching vehicle when the driver is
backing out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approximately
5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is opera-
tional.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from either side, the system chimes (once)
and the side indicator light flashes on the side
the vehicle is approaching from.
LSD3608
5-68Starting and driving

The RCTA system uses radar sensors1in-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
1can detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approximately
66 ft (20 m) away.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
RCTA SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or dis-
able the RCTA system.1. Press the MENU button below the lower display screen.
2. Select “Driver Assistance.”
3. Select “Blind Spot Assist.”
4. Select “ON” to turn the “Blind Spot Warning” system on or off.
NOTE: ∙ The RCTA system is integrated into the
BSW system. There is not a separate se-
lection in the vehicle information display
for the RCTA system. When the BSW is
disabled, the RCTA system is also dis-
abled.
∙ When enabling/disabling the system,
the system setting will be retained even
if the engine is restarted.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the RCTA system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
∙ Always check surroundings and turn tocheck what is behind you before backing
up. The radar sensors detect approaching
(moving) vehicles. The radar sensors can-
not detect every object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
∙ The radar sensors may not detect ap- proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration
A: When a vehicle parked
next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
– Illustration
B: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.

– IllustrationC: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration
D: When an approaching
vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration
E: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and approach-
ing vehicle is small.
∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on the vehicle
∙ Do not attach stickers (including trans- parent material), install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar sen-
sors. These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system vol- ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard. NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approaching in
a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite direc-
tion (Illustration 2), a chime may not be
sounded by the RCTA system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system
will be deactivated automatically. The “Un-
available: Side Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
The systems are not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system will also stop working.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will
turn off automatically. The system malfunc-
tion warning message will appear in the ve-
hicle information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system will also stop working.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear
bumper. Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a colli-
sion.
